1963 started with temperatures close to or below zero for the first three months. At Greenock Ladyburn shed on 23 February 1963, and still in the grip of a very cold winter, Fowler 2F 0-6-0 Dock Tank 47163 and Fairburn 4MT 2-6-4T 42175 have turned their wheels for the last time, as indeed has Caley 4-4-0 54506 (visible in the background). 42175 was the first of Ladyburn's Fairburns to be withdrawn.
